Murdered women remembered

Last Thursday, Dec. 6, women and men gathered in the courtyard at the Smithers Library to mark the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre in 1989.

In addition to candles, 18 roses were placed on the raised flower bed, 14 to remember the women murdered at l’École Polytechnique, one to remember the women who went missing on Highway 16, one to recognize women murdered as part of honour killings, one rose for children who are victims of violence and a final rose for unnamed victims of violence.
